It is a tough call indeed; roles and playing time of Williams, Walker and Gordon are up in the air. And it's not unlikely that Ginobili will get some rest at least at the end of the season which will kill his owners in the play-offs of head to head leagues. This is something to keep in mind especially this year.

I don't agree about Hibbert. His shooting percentage is below 50%, which I don't like for my bigs when they don't give plusses in other categories (including 'out of position' stats). His rebounding isn't that good either; last year (his best) 7,5 a game. His freethrow percentage is at abou 75%. So basically all he is a plus in, is in blocks; last year 1,8 per game.

Under Frank Vogel, in the latter part of the season his numbers were significantly better.
I'm going to guess his numbers are much improved this season.

(And 75% from the Line for C is actually pretty good.)

I never said he's a good 1st Center, but he's certainly a good pick-up to have as your off-day Center, and certainly better than having Kemba Walker on your team. (Not a slight against Kemba. I think he'll have a good Rookie campaign.)

Didn't think to check his stats under Vogel, you know what they were? My comment is in light of the trade; I don't mind Hibbert, but, like I said, looking at his overall stats last season (and before), he doesn't give a lot you want from the center position. So, basically you just play him for the blocks (and rebounds). The 75% isn't bad for a center, but still hurts you. In a trade like this I'd be more confident with an upgrade over Hibbert in this trade at this stage of the season. Otherwise I'd just wait and see (if I can get more value for Ginobili who might be up there in the fantasy rankings).

And ... did you just start smack talk before we even have a match up Just wait and see what numbers Kemba is going to put up when we play each othter (if I haven't dropped him yet ...).

I guess I'm looking at Hibbert from the Standpoint of someone who's got, (besides Horford) Brendan Haywood and Brandon Bass at Center.

Yeah, you didn't know ... just talked to my team, and they are so pissed off! On the blackboard in the dressingroom I put up 'March 5 - March 11' in giant red letters. Kemba even punched a hole in the wall and cried out "Who is this Joey you keep talking about! Who is this insane man! He thinks Hibbert is better than me, HIBBERT!" Should have kept quiet Joey, really should.

Looking forward to the center part of our match-up! I got Andrew Bynum, Stoudemire, Brand, Nene and Varejao (injury free?). All 5 I'd prefer (a lot) over Hibbert. My 6th center is Tyrus Thomas whom I probably wouldn't trade for Hibbert either untill further in the season because of his upside and my full line-up of good starting centers.

Ya ya Whatever. :P Rub it in why don't you.
I'd trade any Center I have except for Horford to get Hibbert. (Amir isn't Usable as a Center. Very frustrating. Hopefully that will be changed.)
